High-sensitivity C-reactive protein is not associated with carotid intima-media progression: the carotid atherosclerosis progression study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE It is unclear whether elevated serum C-reactive protein (CRP) is causal to the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. We undertook a prospective longitudinal cohort study to address this question. METHODS In a population-based sample of 3122 subjects, we measured carotid intima media thickness (IMT) at baseline and after 3 years and surveyed clinical events. Ass...
متن کاملGender differences between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and intima media thickness progression.
Gender Differences Between High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Intima Media Thickness Progression To the Editor: Sander et al1 have performed an excellent study demonstrating a significant sex difference in early atherosclerotic progression using high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP). They have also showed that hsCRP failed to be associated with intima media thickness (IMT) progressio...
متن کاملCharacteristics of coronary artery ectasia and its association with carotid intima-media thickness and high sensitivity C-reactive protein.
This study was conducted to uncover the relation between coronary artery ectasia (CAE) and markers of atherosclerosis. A total of 1611 coronary angiograms were prospectively examined to find out patients with CAE. Those patients were divided into 2 groups: Mixed CAE with stenotic coronary artery disease (CAD) “group 1” and pure CAE “group 2”. Two control groups of age-adjusted subjects were sel...
متن کاملChronic carbon monoxide exposure is associated with the increases in carotid intima-media thickness and C-reactive protein level.
Being the most common cause of death from poisoning worldwide, cardiovascular manifestations of acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning have been subject of various studies but current evidence about effects of chronic CO exposure on atherosclerosis is limited which is very common. We aimed to investigate association of chronic CO exposure with atherosclerosis by measuring carotid intima-media thi...
متن کاملElevated C-reactive protein is associated with an increased intima to media thickness of the common carotid artery.
In this study, we analyzed the relationship between serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and the intima to media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery in 411 consecutive neurological inpatients (215 males, mean age 64.1 years). The CRP concentration was determined within 12 h and patients were subdivided according to the CRP level. Patients with an elevated CRP (n = 149) showed a significantly...
